Talk Nerdy To Me

May 9, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I recognise the Jason Derulo song that Talk Nerdy to Me is a parody of. This is good. You need to recognise the original in order to get maximim enjoyment from this. Equally, if you’re fed up of Derulo’s Talk Dirty then you’ve probably already decided to skip this one.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes trailer

May 9, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I didn’t actually watch the first reboot in this series. I couldn’t bring myself to take the risk. I’ve watched this 2 minute 30 trailer and now I may change my mind. Sure, they’re still doing the dark and grim, they’re doing science versus nature, but as there’s a bit of a world story building […]

Short film: Exit Log

May 8, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a clever little sci-fi film that explores time travel – well, time travel over the space of 3 minutes anyway. What would you do if you had three minutes to save the ship? Tip: Hop on this teleport link to discover a randomly selected new video.

Short film: Concerning Dragons

May 8, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A short animation by Kieran Duncan that’s part MSc project and done in association with Axis Animation. It’s an unofficial tie in with the release of The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. It feels brief but took 13 weeks to make and has a simply wonderful papercraft effect. Time to dare some short film roulette. Click […]

Punk Storm cosplay

May 8, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Many years ago the X-Men’s storm went through a punk phase. She had a mohawk and all the leather look. I think Kurosune has captured the style well. Not sure how close I’d like to get to this spiky storm! Picture by Jamais Vu and costume by Kick Custom Design.

Pikachu chooses Space Marine armour

May 7, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

This is some curveball cosplay from Australian Supanova Pop Culture Expo. We’ve Pikachu, the zappy Pokemon, as an inspiration for what looks like Warhammer 40K Space Marine armour. No wonder she’s won so many badges.

Short film: H.I.S.S.

May 7, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m a fan of Sneaky Zebra. They’ve appeared on Geek Native before with some great cosplay videos. This is different. H.I.S.S. is Sneaky’s entry into the SciFi London 48 hour film challenge. They had only 48 hours to make a film based on a title, a prop or action and a line of dialogue. The […]

May 7, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Set after World War III and in a world where water is scarce but the government has been able to restore peace and order, Pumzi explores what happens when someone wants to grow a tree. The East African survivors of the “Water War” are, 35 years later, able to sustain themselves. It’s hard work but […]
